SUBJECT: NICARAGUA: RESPONSE TO FDA REGISTRY DEMARCHE
REF: 09 SECSTATE 108138
GON officials with responsibilities for food safety have refused
our repeated attempts to schedule a meeting with them to deliver
reftel talking points. Post has sent hard copies of the FDA
Reportable Food Registry information to them. We are attempting to
inform industry about the registry through various chambers and
professional associations. Post will report any further
substantive developments as they arise.
